| The Oklahoma Community Sentencing Act (22 OS 988.1) authorized Oklahoma's District Judges to establish:
Local sentencing systems within their jurisdiction to use public and private entities to deliver services to the court for the punishment of eligible felony offenders receiving a community sentence as a condition of a deferred or suspended sentence.
Local planning councils within each local sentencing system whose membership includes a judge, district attorney, sheriff, county commissioner and three citizen members for each county represented to plan, monitor and support the local systems.
Eligible offenders are those who are eligble by crime and whose risk for recidivism falls within the moderate range of an objective assessment used to predict risk for reoffending.
